SunRidge Canyon Golf Club

The course was in tough shape from the beginning. There were plenty of dry areas and fewer green areas. The greens in particular were in bad shape. One green, 11 I believe, had standing water on the green at 11:30 in the morning on a bright sunny day. To add insult to injury, our cart GPS did not work and there was no starter to help. We never saw a ranger ALL day. I spoke with the beverage cart girl at the 7th hole and she said she would call it in right away. Someone finally came and restarted the system on the 15th hole. I really like the layout of this course, but it was not worth the $$$ we paid.

Very nice set-up with gorgeous views. Condition of the greens were not consistent with the cost of the green fees. We paid $195/per person during peak season. I played several others in better condition for much less.

I was excited to play here but as other people said recently the greens were not in good shape. It looks like they used really fine grass clippings to fill in bare spots on several greens in an effort to make them look good. At this time of the year I expect the best conditions considering the prices courses charge but this isn't the case here.

At least six of the greens had so little grass on them you were basically putting over hard wet dirt. Very difficult to stop the ball near the hole on downhill putts. I expected much better based on what they charge to play.

Back in "99" We played this course along with Greyhawk & Troon, you couldn't tell the difference between the three. Now you can and what once was an immaculate course has now seen its better days. The greens were a big disappointment. They were like concrete and I usually love faster greens.... Just wasn't the same experience as the previous four times!

This is the third time playing this course on my annual Phoenix trip. It again was in great shape and I love the views of the canyon. There are a number of memorable holes and the par 3's are great, especially #17 over the canyon. The only negative is that some of the greens seemed to lack a little grass so the ball would not slow down at all going downhill. This should be on your list to play and it's definitely not overpriced if you get an internet deal.

Had a great time! Friendly staff, good food and beautiful weather!

Greens were just rolled out morning we played so they were very fast. Beautiful scenery and challenging Par 4's for the ladies that don't drive over 200 yards. Wicked 6 (last 6 holes on back 9) is manageable...don't let it scare you and just stick to your game. Could get in lots of trouble if played too aggressively.

This layout is impressive with many challenging holes. Great canyon views and terrain.greens were smooth but almost appeared to be mushy and some definitely had some turf issues but that was pretty much the only drawback. The course is very good but the pace of play the day we played was aggravating and no Marshall seen to move things along. 4:45 on a weekday is far too long. All that said, we will definitely be going back.

We were excited to play this course and the first few holes were especially dramatic and in good shape. We played the first 9 holes in 2 hours 5 minutes but the back side slowed to a halt with a final round of 4 hours 45 minutes. We didn't see a ranger helping the situation. Many of the greens were hard and didn't hold the approach shots well. We paid about $100 each on golf now hot deals but would expect the greens and pace of play to be better with this price range. The views are excellent and the fairways were in great shape.

well kept, challenging and beautiful course with some great views, nice club house and friendly staff. would highly recommend it.

The course is beautiful and is very challenging. It will test every aspect of your game and expose all of your weaknesses. That said, what a great feeling when you make a "golf" shot or par a hole. Personally I played 14 of the 18 well but the other four chewed me up. Three of those four were on what they call "The Wicked Six". I recommend you play this course when on top of your game.

This course is desert golf at it's finest. Tucked up in canyons of Fountain Hills it has 18 great holes. The natural terrain is spectacular. Every hole offers unique challenges and the final 6 holes (The Wicked Six) do not disappoint. The course was in excellent condition and definitely worthy of it's high rating.

Overall, I feel the course was in good condition. A player must be able to keep ball in fairways or he/she will need plenty of golf balls. Speaking of balls, once you tee off, you won't be back to the club house so have all the balls you possibly need or you may run out. The cart gal said she used to carry them but not on the day I played. The folks at the club house didn't say anything about this. There were some long fairways that were roped off for what appeared to be no particular reason. You had to leave your cart and carry several clubs or your entire bag if you weren't sure where your ball was (bunker, rough, etc,). The final six holes (aptly named The Wicked Six) are especially difficult and , except one, are all uphill. The greens were dormant and appeared black at times but rolled pretty well. I probably wouldn't play this course again until my handicap was near single digit.

tough track for intermediate to expert. wicked six is even tougher heading into the sun at 4 to dusk. good company, good course for right price and good weather. what more does a guy want.

This was a very interesting and challenging course layout. There were a lot of forced carries, narrow farways, small greens, uneven lies, etc. The fairways were in perfect shape, there were only a few spots where they were a little soft from the rain we had received the day before and morning of. The rough was completely dead though I guess that is not completely out of the ordinary for AZ, for the price I thought they would be in a little better shape. The greens played well, but looked odd, the grass wasn't the same shade of green as the fairways it's hard to describe. Worth your time, especially if you are looking for a challenge, for the price I would have expected the course to be in a little better shape though.

I thought that SunRidge Canyon would be a nice birthday gift to myself. The pace was incredibly slow and it was hard to enjoy the round while waiting to hit on every shot. It is undoubtedly a nice run, but to stack the tee times so close together is criminal. The two people working in the pro shop were less than friendly when I asked if I could walk to the course. I would not play again nor would I recommend the course to anyone due to the experience I had.

As a first time player it was disappointing to not find my ball after what I expected to be a well placed tee shot. I shouldn't have to drop down to irons on the par 4/5's in order to keep the ball in play off the tee box...The kicks after landing always went off the course.. The greens were consistent and true for the most part..however, the plug from previous pin location was not replaced very well, always a depression to navigate through if it was on line with todays cup location. I will not play this course again.

This is the second time I played the course. The layout is a superb desert course. The wicked 6 finishing holes are a true test of golf . Will definitely be back.

Enjoyed playing here. The last six holes are Wicked
